Use the motor driver provided with the motor ? #83

Hi, First off all, thank you for the amazing work that yo have already done ! I did not read the whole code yet, but I was wondering if there is a possible adaptation to use the motor driver provided with the 28BUY (based on the ULN2003) ? Thanks !

Yep, you can use Basic IO mode: https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap/wiki/Electronics#basic-prototyping-alternative-electronics-approach

However, this uses a lot more pins on the Arduino, so with an UNO you can only control 3 modules this way (instead of up to 12 with the custom driver electronics/shield).
